This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The objectives of this NIH-funded prospective, observational, longitudinal study is to provide information on the incidence and course of ocular complications of AIDS in the face of changing anti-HIV and anti-CMV therapies. The study will monitor secular trends in the incidence of CMV retinitis and other ocular complication of AIDS; will determine the effect of HAART-induced changes in immune status on the risk of CMV retinitis and other ocular complications of AIDS; will determine the characteristics of populations at high risk; and will evaluate the effects of treatments on visual function, QOL, and survival.
